This is London!

Exterior sites include: Buckingham Palace, Downing Street, The Mall, St James’s Park, Big Ben, Parliament, Westminster Abbey, Churchill War Rooms, London Bridge, Tower Bridge, Wobbly Bridge, St Paul’s Cathedral, Tower of London, The Square Mile, Pudding Lane and much more.

Hear the stories about the Palace’s famous residents through the ages and why it is, in fact, not a palace at all.

Visit the “most beautiful park in London” for a stunning photo opportunity.

The best vantage points for the Queen’s London residence, Buckingham Palace, can be found here along with stories about secret wartime tunnels underfoot.

The heart of the capital where Londoners come to celebrate, mourn and protest in times of national importance.

Pat the Queen’s Horses and make the Wardens laugh… if you can. Another classic photo opportunity.

It doesn’t get more iconic than Big Ben. Learn all about the history of this famous landmark.

The cradle of Western democracy and site of the famous Gunpowder Plot – stop here for an external tour of one of the most storied institutions in politics.

See where the Prime Minister lives right here in the heart of the capital.

Arguably one of the most important churches in the land. Place of coronations, Royal weddings and burials, final resting place of Charles Dickens, Isaac Newton, Elizabeth I and Bloody Mary.

Another classic landmark spanning the iconic River Thames.

Legendary and infamous – most who walked in here never walked out. Enjoy an extensive exterior tour of this bastion of British history.

The other most famous church in the land which hosted the stunning wedding of Prince Charles and Princess Diana and which Churchill defended against all odds during the Blitz in WW2.

Hyde Park is the largest of the Royal parks in the capital and one of the most beloved. There is Speakers’ Corner where people have come for centuries to protest and make their voice heard. There is the Serpentine lake and large green spaces – an oasis of nature and calm in the middle of London.

Often confused with Tower Bridge, we will stop to make sure it is not falling down, discover its gory use in the early days and find out how some of it ended up in Arizona.

The home of Prince Charles and Camilla – adjacent to St James Palace – a short stop to see the soldiers patrolling their residence.
